about

PEGGY TATE is the creative practice of Jasmine Stine, a multidisciplinary artist working across performance, installation, and social practice. Her work explores vulnerability and ephemerality as portals where identity, relationship, and meaning remain unresolved.
Informed by her own experience of chronic illness, neurodivergence, and intergenerational trauma, TATE engages nonlinear time, fluctuating capacity, and liminal states of consciousness as both subject and method.

Her work offers sites for confronting longing, existential isolation, and the fragile possibility of connection. Viewers are often invited to touch, alter, or witness, becoming co-creators in an field of intimacy and risk, blurring distinctions between subject and object. Often centering discarded materials and neglected spaces, her explores the tension between chaos and order, neglect and care, suffering and rapture.

TATE’s work is on longterm view at the University of Florida and her experimental short film I HEART NY received an honorable mention at RestFest, a film and video art festival by and for Disabled artists. Her debut solo show was at the Gainesville Fine Arts Association in 2025. She was a founding member of the experimental performance group the Royal Frog Ballet, with whom she completed a month-long residency at A.P.E. Gallery in Northampton, Massachusetts. Stine received her Bachelor of Arts from Hampshire College with an intersectional focus on community development for social change. She has collaborated on numerous culture change projects including acclaimed podcast Becoming the People with Prentis Hemphill, The Schumacher Society for a New Economics, and The Togetherness Practice.

Alongside her artistic practice, Stine works as a practitioner and educator in East Asian medicine. She previously practiced at the Brooklyn Acupuncture Project and founded Upright Qi NYC, where she specialized in trauma-informed and gender affirming care. She currently serves as visiting professor of acupuncture and clinical herbalism at the Academy for Five Element Acupuncture.
